“The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, defeated prominent atheist professor, Richard Dawkins, in a debate at the University of Cambridge in England on Thursday night, as a vote taken at the conclusion of the debate ruled that religion does have a place in the 21st century. The debate motion that ‘religion has no place in the 21st Century’ was well-defeated at the event held in front of an audience of about 800 people, mostly students, at the Cambridge Union Society's chambers, according to the U.K.’s Independent newspaper. Dawkins lost the debate by 324 votes to 136, as he failed to convince the house that religion has no place. ... The Union--the largest society at the University of Cambridge--has a long and distinguished history of hosting leading state and international political figures in its chamber, from presidents to prime ministers and Oscar winners to Olympic legends. It has formerly hosted Sir Winston Churchill, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.”
